By TED HAWKINS Just what happens when a Jones defense meets a Jones offense will be ,hown at the Coliseum tomorrow afternoon when the revised Southern California eleven plays Leo Calland's squad from the University of Idaho.
players and fans have commented on the possibilities, and although the Trojan team ls easily conceded the rictory, it is admitted that the Vandals may be able to stop some of the Cardinal and Gold plays with similar tactics. On the whole, the Idaho team has the appearance of a Jones’ coached group using the same shift. Calland’s plays are a combination of Gloomy Gus Henderson's with Coach Jones and some of his own.
Injuries will hamper the Trojan attack to some extent with several men permanently or temporarily on the shelf. Tony Steponovitch, who has been out of the game several weeks, aggravatd his Injury again in practice and will not play. Jesse Hill, with a twisted knee, Is probably out for the season unless rapid improvement takes place. Jim Musick bruised his hip in a heated practice session. He could hardly bend without considerable pain yesterday. Everett Brown, understudy to Musick, was on crutches yesterday due to a bad ankle. Arbelbide received a kick in the groin which caused him to ease up to some extent. He is expected to start tomorrow, however. Aside from these “Heinie" Becker and Jesse Shaw are both out of tomorow’s game, the former by dint of a bad knee, and the latter with a twisted ankle.
With Shaver playing the fullback position while Saunders calls signals, Apsit and Pinckert tilling tho inside and outside halves respectively, the Trojans will test the new arrangement which provides for greater punting protection.
